LCWRA query. Why has my LCWRA not been awarded from the same date as when my sick note started?

Hi everyone, I'm after a little bit of advice regarding LCWRA. It's my first time dealing with UC and the DWP. Anyhow I badly broke my arm in 25th Feb and am still off work with this. I provided a,sick cert from 27th Feb to 30th June 22. I have been awarded LCWRA from the 14th March? Why would this not be the same date as to when my sick note started. Thanks very much from a very confused newbie x

No, it will depend on what date your assessment periods are (or when you usually receive your money each month) and the date you reported your health condition. There's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time, then the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim. It's not paid at all during the waiting period.

Welcome to the community @Mooki How are you doing today?
I can see that poppy123456 has already given you some information on waiting periods. The entitledto website echoes this:In most cases, the LCWRA element is awarded after a 3 month waiting period beginning on the day you provide medical evidence. If it takes longer than 3 months to carry out your Work Capability Assessment the element you are awarded will be backdated to this point and you will be paid any amount owing.Has that cleared this up for you a little? Please do let us know if you have any further questions.
